The exhibition includes 17 acrylic on panel on one of the preferred subjects by the author: the urban landscape.
The first individual work from the artist, "Andalusian Pieces" (2009) marked an indelible path in her art work. There were thirteen large works, mostly illusions, showing a very personal vision of a beloved space for her, the Alcazaba of Malaga. Throughout these years the urban landscape has remained particularly relevant in her production, consolidating a series that the artist calls "Urban Daydreams”. An urban landscape, its own, with sharp features, setting her own stamp where the vibrant colors flood each work, applied with loose brushstrokes and using many glazes, often painted with fingers. Saturated colors bathed in a light so powerful, that one can only speak of southern luminism. Then came the urban views beyond the Andalusian monument, beloved cities that become the star of an individual: "The Estepona I love" or that continue to grow in number in order to reach, perhaps, to have their own individual, as Malaga and New York.
In this exhibition the author has chosen some of the most emblematic works of the series of the Alcazaba in Malaga and views of New York, Malaga and Granada. The journey can not be more subjective, just through the loved cities, cities where the artist takes long walks to live and feel the city. It is never the city, but "her" city, and always the old town (or Manhattan in the case of the Big Apple), where urban history is concentrated, where many essences and experiences that explode in her paintings, overlap, in layers, in a metamorphosis of color that does not affect the forms, because the corners and streets can be easily recognized. Moments and lonely spaces, without people, but full of that humanity that seems to have lived it, just waiting to be revealed to the artist. With her camera, she is able to retain the precious moments in all its details, photographed moments of inestimable help, no doubt, to recall later in the study, all that experience, all the magic that wrapped this moment of seduction between the city and artist. Surely it is no coincidence the author's passion for archeology to understand the creative process of "urban itinerary", spaces full of immeasurable code of shapes, lights and colors only accessible and interpretable by its discoverer that, layer to layer, unravels, studies …
"Urban Itineraries", perhaps vital itinerary, because the gaze of the artist toward the city becomes a mirror of her own existence, or of her own desire, returning to her a more friendly and beautiful image, the more optimistic, the bottle half full. An exhibition, autobiographical?, of an urban series that promises to add more spaces, more places.
